Trimming your hedge, bush or shrub has never been this easy, quick or clean. Greenworks are at the forefront of lithium-ion technology and this powerful cordless hedge trimmer benefits from fast charging times and up to 30% longer, continuous run time than comparatives. In fact, the battery that powers this model is Greenworksâ best battery yet, providing real petrol type power with much lower weight ratios, zero emissions, no cables and no maintenance. Noise is reduced by a significant margin and vibrations are much lower. The batteries have 3-4 times the life span of a traditional Ni-cad and are a 1/3 of the weight with consistent power through the cycle, with no âfadingâ of power at the end and no power loss when dormant, meaning you can pick it up and use whatever charge you left in, weeks after the last use, without having to recharge. You can fully charge or part charge, the battery has no memory so there are no negative effects. Up to 2000 charge cycles are possibleâ¦ thatâs years worth of power, even if you charged and used it every day.With one of these batteries, the G-MAX 40v Cordless Hedge Trimmer, delivers an astounding continuous run time of up to 65 minutes. The cutting is done by two, 61cm long, laser cut steel, reciprocating blades, which move across each other in a dual-action, preventing blockages and stalling and producing a superior, smooth cut. The cutting diameter is approximately 2.0cmGreenworks products are very high quality and include top-end features throughout. This hedge trimmer has a rotating rear handle which, at the touch of a button, revolves 90 degrees to the left or the right enabling a more comfortable posture when trimming the side of a hedge. Both forward and rear handles feature soft-cushioned grips which further reduce vibrations and a transparent knuckle-guard in front of the forward handle protects while offering a clearer view of the cutting blades. The rear handle is also fitted with a safety-off switch that prevents accidental starts.And donât forget, the 40v GMAX battery will charge all the garden tools in the 40v range, including the lawn mowers, blower, chainsaw and tiller, so your battery and tools become an easy to use, integrated garden care system.
